Thank you, Skywise. I'll add more after I see others' responses.
The one about remembering when you bought his albums is so true: I got the No Fences tape for Christmas 1991, Ropin' the Wind and Garth Brooks for my 5th birthday (May '92), Beyond the Season in August that same year, followed by The Chase for Christmas '92, In Pieces on its release date at Sam Goody in the local mall, The Hits two days after its release, Fresh Horses for Christmas '95, Sevens on its release date, The first Limited Series for my 11th birthday ('98), Double Live for Christmas '98, The Life of Chris Gaines on its release date, Scarecrow on its release date, The Magic of Christmas: Songs from Call Me Claus a week later, the second boxed set on its release date, the 17-song Lost Sessions a week after it came out, and the Entertainer on its release date.

- The day Garth announced his retirement is referred to you as "the day country music went down the drain".

I was gonna say "A Day That Will Live In Imfamy" but that works too

How about...

Every time there is a thunder storm you start to sing "the thunder rolls"

After seeing the video for "The Red Strokes" your new favorite color becomes red, you watch it over and over again thinking how in the name of god did he wash all that paint off

when your in the car you search all the country stations until you find a garth song and when it's over you consider that station "used up" for a good 2 hours and continue to search the other stations for a garth song

when you hear people talking about kenny chesneys summer tour your instant reaction is If Garth were touring kenny wouldn't stand a chance

You watch the movie "Frequency" and "Hope Floats" just because garth sang songs for them

You look for garth posters whenever you go to wal-mart even though you know there won't be any (But seriously wal-mart should have done that because it would have made a good deal of money)

This is a cool thread. I am quite shocked at how many of these apply to me and that they OBVIOUSLY apply to others as well. I really thought that I was the "only one" who do this or that...FUNNY STUFF!! Great thread!

You know you're a Garth Fanatic when... Your older brother who is (or was) a Garth Fan storms into your room while your blasting Garth at full max on your stereo, and rips the CD out of the player and snaps it in half, because he is soo tired of hearing Garth/the same songs over & over again!!!!

The sad part is that's true! My brother snapped my Fresh Horses CD in half because I kept playing the same songs over 12 times in a row!!! An hour later he came back and gave me his copy of Fresh Horses because he felt bad! XD

When I was in high school, I had a classmate bet me $10 that I didn't have enough Garth shirts to wear a different one to school each day for a week... I bet him $50 that I could wear a different one each day for 2 weeks - and I did! Of course he never paid me. lol

You drive for 1/12 hrs from Jersey to Philly to pick up a country station, pull over to listen, and have to tell people NO I'm not having car trouble I'm waiting to hear more than a memory then sitting for another hour to hear it again.
Almost getting arrested in a bar for unplugging the karaoke when another man "tries" to sing The Dance.
Including Garth in my daily prayers and telling God the man he created on 02/07/1962 is one of His best works.

If you live in California, bought tickets to the OK concert, to then buy tix to the last night of KC and will be driving between the two!! And I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who yells "God Bless Chris Ledoux" and sits in my car to listen to the rest of every garth song on the radio, even though i have them all on cd.
